I reccomended the S482 to you as the first turbo I said.
I would honestly go with the billet wheel 82 and the same hotside. It's worth about 100-150 more for not much cost.
I think the S480 will do what you want though. That is just what I would do personally.

Who ever is selling you a billet 82 for twice the price of a standard 480, then run. The 82mm Billet unit direct from Borg is not that $$$. Also an option not many talk about is you can get the cast version of the 82mm billet for a lot less money. Same power, same wheel aerodynamics. Both wheels weigh within 5 grams of each other. Another option if you have the money is the GT50-88. Comes in a mid-frame package and also full frame as the GT4718 and GT5533. The GT5018 picked up 100rwhp on a 382ci motor over the GT4718. The GT4718 was running a 1.23A/R. The GT50 was a 1.23A/R as well. Backpressure dropped from 58psi to 31psi from the turbine side alone. The GT50 88mm wheel is a little better then the GT47 comp wheel as well. Just something to look at as you go. If your on a budget though, the 480 is hard to beat for the price. We sell them daily.....never let us down.

I think on your site it's like 250-350 bucks more at the most?
